Darren Henry has been chosen as prospective parliamentary candidate for Wolverhampton North East.
The seat is held by Labour's Emma Reynolds, shadow housing minister, with a majority of 2,484.
The Tories have won it only once since 1950.
Mr Henry, a former Squadron Leader in the Royal Air Force, worked for Wolverhampton based Carillion before going on to be general manager of a small business.
He said: "It is a great honour to have been chosen and I will be an ambassador for the Wolverhampton North East community as I was when I had responsibility for military communities."
